American men’s fashion and entertainment magazine Complex has named G-Dragon’s electro pop song “Niliria” as one of this year’s top 50 songs.

“Niliria,” featuring U.S. hip-hop artist Missy Elliott, is a single from the artist’s second solo album “Coup d’etat,” released on Sept. 5. “Niliria” was produced by G-Dragon, Missy Elliott and Teddy Park. The hybrid track, featuring traditional Korean sounds fused with electro pop and hip-hop, ranked at No. 32 on the Complex magazine list.

“Korean pop superstar G-Dragon has the power to do whatever he wants, so it was nice to see him bring Missy Elliott out of unofficial retirement this past summer when they debuted this culture-clashing collaboration to thousands of screaming fans at an L.A. sports arena,” wrote Brendan Frederick for Complex. “Maybe Missy should consider signing with YG Entertainment for that comeback album.”
